Nexstim – Targeting a paradigm shift in stroke rehabilitation
Targeting a blockbuster market
Potentiaal game-changer technology
2.1 million strokes each year in US and Europe
712,000 patients is Nexstim’s target # of patients
$1.8 billion market potential for NexstimFew effective alternatives…
…still $8.5bn currently spent on stroke rehab in the US
Promising efficacy demonstrated in completed Phase II clinical trial
Technology already validated – Pioneered the technology to map motor and speech centers, with 120 devices installed worldwide and FDA clearance –same technology now applied in stroke rehabilitation
Huge unmet need and commercial opportunity
Targeting a blockbuster market…(market for post-acute stroke treatment)

Technology platform applied in stroke and brain surgery
(1) rTMS = repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation
Novel technology Two products Main uses Status
Navigated Brain
Therapy®(NBT)
Stroke rehabilitationPrecise localisation of the
correct motor center in the brain followed by
stimulation to improve motor functions
Pre-surgical mappingMapping of the motor and
speech centers prior to brain surgery to avoid damage to
these vital areas

Stroke–NBT System
NBT for stroke rehabilitation – How it works
Problem post stroke:Overactive inhibition from the non-damaged side interferes when the patient tries to move paralyzed limb
Source: Khedr et al, Eur J Neurol, 2009; Kakuda et al, PM&R 2011
Nexstim’ssolution:Repeated inhibitory stimulation to non-damaged side restores balance, removing barriers for improvement

Note: “Robotics”, “Intentive conventional rehab” and “Non-navigated rTMS” data come from different studies. While not directly comparable, included in the above chart for illustrative purposes. | (1) Data for “Treatment group” and “Sham group” from Nexstim Phase II clinical trial (Harvey et al, 2013) – per protocol figures. | (2) Data for “Robotics” and “Intensive conventional rehab” from published multi-center trial (Lo et al, NEJM 2010) | (3) Data for “Non-navigated rTMS” from published multi-center trial (Kakuda et al, J Neuroeng Rehab 2012), 6 month follow-up not done. Responder rate = % of group that had improvements above the 5 point minimal clinically important difference threshold.

Stroke –NBT System
Nexstim’s unique technology provides distinct benefits
Integration of TMS and navigation
● TMS-navigation integration: Nexstim combines non-invasive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with unique proprietary electric field modeling-based navigational capabilities
● Navigation is the key differentiator
● Improved accuracy: Accurate localisation of the target muscle representation area on the cortex
● Dosing precision: Optimisedstimulating electric field location, direction and dose
● Repeatability: Accurate and repeatable stimulation
● Non-invasive procedure
Enhanced limb moveSeveral distinct benefits
● Substantially improved hand movement after treatment demonstrated in Nexstim’s Phase II trial

Highlights in Stroke Rehabilitation (NBT)
Stroke–NBT System
– 2.1m strokes each year in the US and Europe– Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in Western worldHuge unmet need
Few effective alternatives
Promising, validated technology
Potential blockbuster market
Clear execution strategy
– While current standard treatment of physical/occupational therapy is not very effective, $8.5bn is still currently spent on stroke rehab in the US
– $1.8bn is estimated value of Nexstim’s target market (US and Europe)
– Statistically significant efficacy in stroke rehabilitation vs. sham treatment (standard therapy)
– Navigation already validated by NBS
– Phase III trial on track: Establish efficacy in Phase III to obtain FDA clearance and KOL support
– Commercialisation strategy: Convince users of benefits, providers of economic benefits and obtain reimbursement coverage from payers
